Defining Attribute Values for Contracts

You can use Additional Contract Information (BR10.4 or BR13.1) to add values to Lawson-defined attributes. Additional Contract Information can be setup at the Activity Group level (BR13.1) or at the Contract level (BR10.4) or both. The default information will come from BR13.1 but can be overridden at the contract level on BR10.4. You can use these values in customized reports and the Activity data mart. The values you identify on this subform are included on your customized invoice. This information is primarily used for U.S. government contracts.

Note: For more information about the Activity data mart, see the Analytic Architect User Guide.
